India Operations celebrated World Diabetes Day on 14 November across all its hospitals to the theme of ‘Family and Diabetes’.
Focusing on driving synergy on clinical leadership by equipping nurses with greater knowledge and clinical competencies, the celebration included health awareness talks to nurses and the public. A “WhatsApp” group for diabetic patients and their families is created that comprise Endocrinologist, Nurses, Dieticians etc. where they can share their concerns and seek advises.
